‘Babs’ – Wrexham’s very own Lightning McQueen

We love both hearing them and telling them – and quite frankly, the more unbelievable the better 🙂

And the tale of the affectionately named ‘Babs’ and J.G. ‘Daredevil’ Parry Thomas is probably the most unbelievable and the most un-Wrexham like thing you’ll ever hear…

And it’s true!

So strap on your seatbelts and prepare for the ride…it’s sure to be a speedy one 😉

Babs

Babs is the name of a racing car which was designed, built and driven by John Godfrey Parry Thomas of Wrexham.

Babs and Parry Thomas would go on to become local legends (for many reasons that we’ll get to). As a starting point, we’ll look at J.G. Parry Thomas and what led him to create Wrexham’s very own Lightning McQueen.
